Elidi - Gig Review: Elidi @ Churchills Tavern, Christchurch - 4/05/2024
Churchills Tavern was the place to be on Saturday night, where Christchurch prog metal heavyweights Elidi held their fundraiser for their latest album. Elidi have recently made a big name for themselves, touring the country with well-known metal acts including Pull Down The Sun and Crooked Royals.
Setting up the evening perfectly were local bands The Rainfall and Locked In Stasis, with both acts playing great energetic music. These two resident bands are making waves in New Zealand and Christchurch alike, with a sound and style each of their own.
As a fan of Elidi’s music, I’m always first in line to see Elidi play live, and like the previous times I've seen them live, they did not disappoint! With a blend of the classic Elidi songs we know and love, they also added in some songs from their new album to the setlist. I had no doubt that Elidi was there to shine.
As with previous Elidi shows, the lighting and sound fit in well with their stage presence, which itself has evolved with every show, making each show more exciting to witness.
The real star of the night was Elidi's newest tracks which brought in a new sound and style, but still with the Elidi groove and powerful vocals that we all know and love.
To sum up the night, it was beyond fantastic.
If Elidi's new music is this good live, then I really can't wait to hear the album.
If you haven’t listened to Elidi already, make sure you check them out - they have a huge future ahead! And be sure to check out Locked In Stasis and The Rainfall, there’s so much great music to be heard!
A great way to see music month in with a bang!
